Itsukushima Jinja
About
Itsukushima Jinja is a legendary Shinto shrine built over the sea on Miyajima Island, renowned for its iconic 'floating' vermilion torii gate. Visitors can walk along the elegant boardwalks connecting the prayer halls and experience how the tide dramatically transforms the landscape. It is an absolute must-visit for its unique architectural design that blends seamlessly with the natural coastal elements.
Insider Tip
Check the local tide tables before visiting; you will want to see it at both high tide to see it float, and low tide to walk out to the gate.
